I hope I'm not the same artist I was five years ago, because it would be impossible. Life -- where it takes you, what you see, what you read -- changes you. Definitely, when I began to create for this album, the one thing I wanted was to not even attempt to do what I had already done. That's why I played with many genres I hadn't visited before, and I made them mine.
I met with great producers and composers, young people that wanted to give it all in their art, ... We were risking, we were daring to go places that we never went in music and because of it, I think there's a lot of spontaneity. We weren't doing music following any rules. I wanted to start from zero, as if it were the first album that I was recording, so I could present a new sound.
They will have to provide some documents to prove the relative that they are living with lives in the district. Or if they live in a shelter, that they live in that shelter. We want to educate all the students in our district.
The country has to get together and has to do something about this. It reminds me of what happened last year with the tsunami.
I used to look at gay men and think, 'I'm not like that, I don't want to be like that, that's not me.'
I love giving the golden shower. I've done it before in the shower. It's like so sexy, you know, the temperature of your body and the shower water is very different.
I just want my children to be happy. I want my children to be healthy.
A lot of people say, 'Wow, you're a single father of twin boys, that's crazy!' Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, 'Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,' it can't get better.
I eat everything, that's a problem. I don't have discipline. My favorite dish is the Caribbean. Meat, rice, lots of grains. But I do like to do exercises. Lately, I've been having capoeira classes and lots of cardiovascular exercises, such as jogging and cycling.
Sexuality and sensuality are completely different things. Sensuality is something that you're born with. But sexuality is something I leave for my own mirror.
I truly am the reflection of perfection.
My priorities are: I need to be good; I need to be well within for my children to be well within; and then the creative process flows, organically and smoothly. I'm not looking to experience what I went through in the 'Livin' La Vida Loca' days again.
During my sabbatical, I spent two years not listening to my songs at all.
Before, I used to ask permission to my parents to leave the house. Now it's - I ask permission to my children to leave the house. They own the house.
